Illegal Alien and Suspected Tren de Aragua Gangster Cries Like a Baby After Arrest in Florida: ‘Life as He Knew It is Over’

********************************************************************

Someone find the world’s smallest violin.

An illegal alien and an alleged Tren de Aragua gangster broke down like a baby being arrested in connection with a violent liquor store robbery spree across central Florida, authorities said.

Ramon Jesus Carpintero-Luna, 26, was caught alongside four other suspects tied to a series of armed heists that targeted more than 30 liquor stores, netting an estimated $30,000 in stolen goods.

Many of the thefts involved threats of violence and a specific focus on high-end liquor, including bottles of premium scotch, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.

When confronted by law enforcement, Carpintero-Luna, a Venezuelan national who entered the country illegally, reportedly fell to his knees, begging officers to let him go.

Detectives said he wept uncontrollably while in handcuffs, seemingly overwhelmed by the realization that his crime spree had come to an end.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd explained his predicament during a press conference on Saturday:

Life as he knew it is over. Is he crying because he can’t steal from Americans anymore? Is he crying because he can’t rob people in the middle of the night anymore? Is he crying because he can’t rip off high end liquor?

This is the end of the road for him and his companions. I hope he has his traveling clothes on because we want to charge them with racketeering and send them to state prison for a very long time. And then deport them.

Investigators identified two of the suspects — Samuel Oglis David Anthony Charle, 25, and Alexis Jose Rodriguez-Benavides, 27 — as confirmed members of the notorious Tren de Aragua, a violent Venezuelan transnational gang backed by the country’s socialist regime.

Carpintero-Luna, along with Ildemaro Miguel Escalona Mendoza, 26, and Darwins Smith Vasquez Leon, 28, are also believed to be involved with the group.

According to Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, all five men entered the U.S. illegally and quickly turned to organized crime.

“They didn’t come here looking for work,” Judd added. “They came here to steal.”

He might be crying because he’s afraid of flying...to El Salvador’s prison.

There’s a rumor in lefty circles that sources in El Salvador say Trump is preparing another flight of this guy’s fellow gang members to the prison there. He might be afraid he has an aisle seat on that plane.

I think the best part of Trump’s El Salvador delivery is the PR that is still reverberating - how many self-deported because of it?

Sad, ok? But he was here in America and could have elected to act right. He had a chance and blew it.

I think the sheriff clued him in on the fact there won’t be margaritas served and the in flight movie is “One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest”.

One thing that hasn't been done with Maryland Man is to strip off his
shirt and examine him for tats. It has become more common for the
MS13 gang bangers to avoid neck and face tats and just get tats which
can be hidden beneath clothing. I bet Maryland Man has a subterranean
gallery to rival the Louvre.

Not to worry. Some attention whoring kongressman (I know, that doesn’t narrow it down at all) will go to bat for that filthy crimigrat. Replete with a complete press squad to publish it all.

CECOT is waiting for him.

Youtube has some good vids on this prison.

Looks to be a hellhole, but these people have earned it.

Forget state prison. He’s a perfect candidate for CECOT.

Too bad Maduro won’t let him back into Venezuela where he could at least serve time with some homies.

Funny how three of them are smiling. Maybe some relief that they won’t be deported immediately but will get to spend time in the state prison first.
